OVERFLOW CROWD IN RILEY'S FIRST PEDIATRIC NURSING CONFERENCE

S

o many people wanted to learn more about "humanistic" child health care that the sponsors of the first pediatric nursing conference, Nursing Services for Children at Riley Hospital, had to turn people away. Focus was on the day-to-day care

of children with cranial anomalies, heart disease and defects, cancer, severe burns, kidney failure and diabetes. The special care of dying children--that today includes family, nurses, social workers and physicians--was also an important issue. The conference was the idea of Margaret Martin, assistant profesor of pediatrics and

director of pediatric nursing at Riley. Nursing Services staff members honored her with a gift of an antique bracelet. A 43-year-veteran of nursing, Martin stesses humanistic care of sick children, because she remembers clearly when sick children were treated, isolated from their families and much of the time died alone. She thinks that the overwhelming interest in the conference (March 28-29) was by health professionals "who truly care about children."-pp

PROF. JEGEN'S TAX TIPS: DEDUCTIONS FOR HOME OFFICES

Our resident tax expert bets that most of you will find this tax tip of particular importance. By now many of you know that IRS section 280A (c) (1) imposes strict requirements which must be met in order for individuals, such as professors, to deduct for federal income tax purposes the expenses that are associated with a "home office."

However, you should be pleased to know that a U.S. Court of Appeals has just decided that a college professor (who was provided with an office on campus) could deduct the expenses of a home office that was used exclusively for university-work-related

activities. If you want to see the interesting case, ask your income tax return

preparer to see Weissman v. Commissioner, 55 AFTR2d 85-539 (1985). Seems that Weissman, who was a professor of philosophy at City College, New York, was not only required to

teach, but to do research and writing in his field. (Sound familiar?) He worked 64-75 hours each week--20 percent on campus and the other 80 percent in his apartment office, which resulted in a book and other publications. Among other things, the court said all aspects of a prof's activites must be considered, that the space he shared on campus did not provide the necessary space or uninterrupted privacy needed, and that his home

office was a "practical necessity." The court also determined that by having a home office, the professor saved his employer the added expense of providing a suitable office ..••
